This English Bastard Sword is named for the final battle that ended the Percy family’s long revolt against Henry IV of England, that had involved so many knights, lords and barons, taking one side or the other. This is the type of sword that any of those proud fighting men would have used in that contest for the crown of England. The parts are steel with a shield and cross etched on the pommel. The grip is wrapped in leather and cross hatched with leather lacing and studs for an improved grasp. The blade is diamond in cross section and is from fully tempered high carbon steel. Comes with a very nice scabbard with brass accents on the steel throat and tip. Belt also included. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Can be sharpened for additional fee.
